1. Our friend & fellow denim-lover Per Magnusson (CEO of the US division of Swedish-born d.brand jeans) was featured on the Daily Single yesterday, where he talks about growing up in the Swedish countryside, what’s in his closet, and how he ended up playing such a huge role in the d.brand story.

2. Converse is releasing a denim shoes line—it’s called the Chuck Taylor All Star Denim Pack, and while each style may have a different fabrication, every shoe has its own unique denim wash. Gift idea? You bet! You might have to leave an IOU under the tree though, because they don’t hit stores until January.
